It is designed not only for high-speed data communication purposes but also for energy efficiency. The basic strategy of green WLAN is that all the access points are not always powered on, but rather work on-demand. Though powering off idle access points does not affect data communication, a serious asymmetric matching problem will arise in a WLAN indoor positioning system due to the fact the received signal strength (RSS) readings from the available access points are different in their offline and online phases. This asymmetry problem will no doubt invalidate the fingerprint algorithm used to estimate the mobile device location. Therefore, in this paper we propose a green WLAN indoor positioning system, which can recover RSS readings and achieve good localization performance based on singular value thresholding (SVT) theory. By solving the nuclear norm minimization problem, SVT recovers not only the radio map, but also online RSS readings from a sparse matrix by sensing only a fraction of the RSS readings. We have implemented the method in our lab and evaluated its performances. The experimental results indicate the proposed system could recover the RSS readings and achieve good localization performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s150101292","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,12]],"date-time":"2015-01-12T13:30:46Z","timestamp":1421069446000},"page":"1292-1311","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Received Signal Strength Recovery in Green WLAN Indoor Positioning System Using Singular Value Thresholding"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Lin","family":"Ma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Harbin Institute of Technology, Communication Research Center, 92 West Dazhi Street,  Nan Gang District, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yubin","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harbin Institute of Technology, Communication Research Center, 92 West Dazhi Street,  Nan Gang District, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kolodziej, K.W., and Hjelm, J.
